Loved our stay!!!

Wow! Perfect location right on the beach! You can see the sunrise and sunset just sitting on your balcony. The condo had everything we needed for our month stay. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to do a lot of eating in. There was even a place to store our bicycles. Brad is amazing! Very responsive when we contacted him! Will definitely stay at his place again on our next trip to Orange Beach.

Beach Get away

Awesome, pristine and clean. Had everything we needed for the long weekend. Close to everything but a quite property too. Looks to be freshly renovated with flooring, appliances and countertops. We are already booking our next trip!

Terrible Experience – Dishonest and Unprofessional Property ManagementI would strongly advise against booking with CastAway Properties. During our stay, we discovered bugs in the bed, which was both disgusting and deeply concerning. I immediately reached out to the property owner, and we had multiple phone calls and text exchanges regarding the issue.Initially, the owner expressed concern and remorse, acknowledged the issue, assuring us that a pest control company would be contacted to inspect the condo. He clearly stated—via text messages on August 9th and 10th, 2025—that we would receive a refund regardless of the outcome of the pest control inspection. However, on August 11th, the owner abruptly reversed his position, stating that no refund would be provided, and that any further communication would have to go through the VRBO message board.This was incredibly disappointing and felt like a clear bait-and-switch. We were essentially promised compensation and then had that promise completely withdrawn.We have never encountered such dishonest and unprofessional behavior from a property management company. CastAway Properties showed a complete lack of integrity and accountability. What should have been a relaxing stay turned into a stressful and frustrating experience.VRBO has been made aware of the issue, and a case has been opened and escalated to their Health and Safety Department for further review.

Hi Cindy, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your concern and understand how unsettling that experience must have felt during your stay. Please know that guest comfort and cleanliness are our top priorities. After receiving your report, we immediately took action by sending a licensed pest control company to inspect the property. Their thorough inspection found no evidence of bugs in the unit. In addition, we also had a professional cleaning company evaluate the property, and they too confirmed no signs of bugs were present. We want all of our guests to feel confident and comfortable staying with us, which is why we take all reports seriously and act quickly. While we regret that this concern impacted your stay, we’re grateful you brought it to our attention so we could ensure the property remains in excellent condition for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the best in your future travels

This condo was perfectly located right on the beach. Everything in condo was neat, clean and smelled good. Had all you needed in kitchen. Beach view was amazing and so relaxing to sit and watch the water. Brad the host is also quick to respond to any questions you may have. For some reason the very last morning we had packed up and fixing to leave and the window sticker fell in floorboard and the security guard took pics so we may be getting a 25. ticket. Just make sure it’s around your review mirror when you get out of the car. Other than that we had an amazing time.
